Passion

 For the passionate gardener winter is a time to  reflect on what worked and what did not and to plan for and dream about the coming season. For inspiration I recommend reading gardening books and watching the BBC Gardener's World shows. You find a guide over the different shows http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mw1h/episodes/guide

Personally I also indulge in beautiful plants and flowers indoors. The Amaryllis plants are my favourite at Christmas time and New Year.

Above you find some white Amaryllis flowers at different stages of their lifespan. They lasted for two weeks. Not bad.
